bored to death

Ever wonder how does a housefly looks like in a close up view? Checked this out :

It’s abdomen reminded me of the freckled skin of that alien in The Predator. And this dead housefly has more hair than Orlando Bloom… yeesh!
(this housefly has been roaming inside my lab for days, and was found dead this morning by a colleague. Suspected cause of death - extreme boredom and depression…)

    poor fly. i remember one comic i read back then.. - Jengking Merah, where the heroes get their powers from insects and the most ‘terer’ one among the insect-heroes is fly-man. :D

    bongkerz - When I was a kid, there used to be a Japanese super hero called Kesatria Bajak Hitam or something… and it had this pair of big eyes like a fly…

    dr.tan - No ler. It was magnified with an Olympus SZ-CTV and captured with an old Sony SSC-DC58AP. Lighting was done with a couple units of Olympus LG-PS2.

    morpheusX - Yeah, maybe.

    kesatria baja hitam…. that’s what it was called. man, for some insane inexplicable reason, i used to really like watching that show. i saw it being televised a few years ago on terestrial tv and i was whacking myself in the head trying to figure out how i could’ve been engaged by such a nonsensical show. in a way, i’m glad a lot of other japanese kids shared the same sentiments.

    still, i wouldn’t trade my childhood watching baja hitam wipeout foes for spongebob
